Samoa Tradition Resort

The 2 ladies that looked after us were very nice, friendly and respectful. We booked this hotel for only one reason. It was very close to our Family Reunion venue. And what a huge and expensive mistake it was! I have advised the 2 ladies to make sure they tell the hotel owner to hire professional cleaners to clean his hotel and treat it for bugs and insects especially flies and cockroaches! Dead and live bugs/insects everywhere! Bought a fly spray myself! It is disgustingly filthy! Thick dust on windows, floor, cupboards. The couches are smelly and dirty, the dishes and utensils are sticky and dirty and are kept on dish racks.
It wasn't a surprise that my uncle was the only guest there when we joined him 2 days later! And we had the whole hotel to ourselves (for 3 days) as no other guests came when we left the morning after we were robbed of our jewelry, money, iPhone and phones.

We stayed here for our last 3 nights in Apia before heading back to Australia.
We were a family of 21. Upon arrival the place looked ok, however there was a lot of disappointment. Each family checked into their own rooms, we were in suite number 3. No TVs were working, the dishes were washed and sitting in the rack on the bench.
The fridge had mould around the outside of the seal.
We had bed bugs it was disgusting! On one of the double beds the mattress was so thin you could feel the slates underneath, that was the most uncomfortable sleep for 3 nights. I literally couldn’t wait to leave Samoa. The staff were nice and helpful and anything we needed they were onto it.
About 2am the next morning the water was cut off so we couldn’t flush the toilet, there was no running water till about 10am that morning.
Next night the power got cut off for awhile and there was no gas so we had cold showers. Our kids were looking forward to swimming but they had just put the chlorine in the pool, it was green and pretty gross.
They said they are closing down and renovating the whole place but my issue is we booked well in advance for our group. Why take our money if the rooms were that bad. I would not stay there again. The place has potential but it needs so much work. Don’t false advertise about the hotel, there is no gym & the pool wasn’t cleaned it was out of order!

This place needs a bit of money spent on it but the staff & traditional rooms are amazing and the Fiafia night on Thursdays is a must for every Samoan visit. We'll be back fa'afetai.
